MACHINE FOR SPINNING AND TWISTING.

SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 322,675, dated July 21,1885.

Application filed September 16, 1884. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEEDHAM BINNs, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for Spinning and Twisting, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to cap -spinning frames; and it consists in a novel combination of parts, including a tube constructed to engage with the bobbin and arranged around the whirl-tube, upon which it is fitted to slide, and is guided longitudinally and also to slide upon the upper portion of the spindle itself, substantially as hereinafter described and claimed, and whereby I am enabled to conveniently use a bobbin of considerable length, capable of carryinga large amount of yarn, and a steady and smooth rising and falling motion is secured for the bobbin. 7

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a spindle and cap, with other parts immediately pertaining thereto as used in cap-spinning, and with my improvements applied. 'Fig. 2 is a horizontal section, upon a larger scale, on the line 00 w in Fig. l.

Ais one of the fixed spindles of a cap-spin ning frame, and B the spindle-rail. 'l is the cap; D D, the ordinary yarn-guards5 E, the top board, and F-the traveling or lifting rail, all as usual.

G is the yarn-guard, which may be of the ordinary or any suitable construction, and be arranged to receive the cap 0 within or through it. p

The whirl which freely rotates on the 0 at its upper end to provide for the sliding of it upon the upper portion of the spindle A.

Upon the lower end of this tube Ois a flange, g

h, having projections 11 on it, which projec-' tions fit within cavities k in the lower end of the bobbin, to secure the rotation of the latter in common with the whirl and its attached tube N. This construction gives a steadier and smoother rising and falling motion to the bobbin, and by it I am enabled to use a longer bobbin than is customary, and thereby to put more yarn on a bobbin.-

, Having thus described my invention, What I claimas new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the fixed spindle A and the rail B, which supports said spindle, of the whirl M, the longitudinally-slotted tube N, fast on said whirl, the tube 0, constructed to drive the bobbin and to slide longitudinally upon or up and down the whirl-tube and spindle in guiding-connection with the slotted portion of the whirl-tube, and the traveling or lifting rail F, substantially as described.
